Customer Ratings:

At last, it’s the ultimate history of the spectacular Star Wars saga, lavishly illustrated and in full color for the first time.

With the completion of Episodes I, II, and III, the epic story that’s captivated millions can now be told in its entirety, from the time of the primordial Knights of the Old Republic and the Clone Wars to the birth of the Empire, from the destruction of the Death Star to the adventures of the New Jedi Order.

Beautifully illustrated by Mark Chiarello, Tommy Lee Edwards, and John Van Fleet, Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology offers the comprehensive and official chronicle of that extraordinary galaxy so far, far away. Herein you’ll find

• the most exciting and climactic events from all epochs of Star Wars–those explosive turning points in the shaping of the galaxy
• a gripping account of the controversial Clone Wars–the treachery that fueled them and the terrifying aftermath
• profiles of the key players in the history of the Star Wars galaxy, along with all the most popular heroes and villains from every movie, book, comic, TV special, game, and cartoon

Follow Anakin Solo’s perilous journey as he wrestles with the dark side; behold the black soul of each Dark Lord of the Sith, from Darth Sidious to Darth Vader; experience the fiery space battles that decided the fates of entire planets; and witness the ferocious invasion of the seemingly invincible Yuuzhon Vong.

The training of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the invasion of Naboo, the capture of Princess Leia, the Battle of Yavin, the lightsaber death duel between Organa Solo and Beldorion the Hutt–all of the key events are captured and preserved for all time in this drama-filled Stars Wars chronicle.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Star Wars Chronology
Comment: This book is full of Star Wars information for the die-hard fan. Covers most material right up into The New Jedi Order. I only gave this book a three because the artwork in it is simply awful. The graphics resemble really bad digital watercolor paintings.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great History Book
Comment: This is a great book for the Star Wars fan! The information fills in the inevitable gaps between the movies and the books. Well written and illustrated.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very comprehensive overview of Star Wars history
Comment: This latest addition to the "Essential Guide" series for the Star Wars universe is very well-done! It covers an immense amount of Star Wars history, touching not only on the six movies but also on the extraneous books and video-games of the greater Star Wars world. Granted, this broad-sweep does require a compromise in that the amount of information on any one subject is probably not going to satisfy a die-hard fan. Personally, however, I like that the book covers as much as possible of all Star Wars history, since it is always a pain to try to keep up with every novel or comic book with the Star Wars imprint on it (and there are a myriad!); instead, this book presents everything in one unified, complete package!
Now, a special word about the illustrations - they are simply amazing! They are lots of them, and each one is well-done and stands out somehow. The artists devoted a lot of hard work into bringing the Star Wars universe alive visually. It is as they say - a picture is worth a thousand words. And that seems to apply just as well to a galaxy far, far away!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but not great
Comment: I purchased this book for a Star Wars class this semester and I must say it is a satisfactory guide to the history of Star Wars. There is a lot of content but they all lack in detail. The pictures are fine but some of them look too Lord-of-the-Ringsish. But overall, easy, fast read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I dont give 5 stars reviews
Comment: I almost never give a 100% review to anything. Movies, Games, books, whatever. THIS is THE essential chronology for Star Wars. Its written like a history book for star wars which I find completely fascinating. As well it has a galaxy map which brings so much insight to events surrounding the lore of star wars. There is nothing I don't like about this book and if there is a more complete chronology out there I would like to know about it.
